What is ERP & CRM?
For businesses of all sizes, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Client Relationship Management (CRM) software is becoming a must. These softwares are able to compile all the data your teams use on a daily basis including finances, compliance, supply chains, project management, resource allocations and leads.
Whilst ERP solutions ensure internal systems are efficient and smooth, CRM solutions ensure customer experiences remain strong. When done well, these systems ensure every team member is on the same page throughout the entire lifecycle of a client’s sale or project, and help the business operationally and administratively in the process.
These systems should ideally be quick to use and reliable. They should prevent data duplication, automatically flag important anomalies, make the capturing and sharing of information faster, and give managers accurate live insights to help them make better decisions.

Inside Tips
- Invest time to analyse your business and its processes before designing or implementing a solution.
- Engage a wide group of users throughout the entire process, especially in the analysis, design and testing phases.
- As you explore different solutions, consider if it's better to have one cohesive united system or a larger collection of connected tailored tools. Will the number of integrations be likely to create flexibility and opportunities for your business? Or risks and limitations?
- Don't get distracted by all the 'bells and whistles'. Prioritise core functions needed to generate maximum value in the short term and build the solution so it can easily scale to add features over time.
- Overhauling ERP or CRM solutions can be time-consuming and expensive. Consider how Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) processes can provide access to new features and functionality over time without the need for larger once-off expenditure and disruption.
